Nerdy 23-year old Canadian guy fights through a league of seven exes (all with some kind of power) to obtain the love of a girl he's fawning over.
The girl everybody wants for some reason is pretty emotionless/grungy with different colored neon hair depending on the scene. Canadian guy cheats on the 17-year old he's dating. A token gay character (For the movie, there's a lot more in the books).
I actually didn't mind it when it came out, but it's a pretty cringey movie in retrospect.
Eh putting aside the people who glommed o to the fashion, just about any nicholas sparks movie is way worse. At least Scott pilgrim was more self aware about what terrible people the two leads were.
We're not really trying to compare levels of awfulness here and Scott Pilgrim definitely had more influence on where we are today (Sparks also had influence but it's less felt today).
I think Nicholas Spark's books actually did more damage overall than his movies.
Its worth noting at least, that he doesn't go out to fight for his M'lady.
He just keeps getting jumped, and is increasingly pissy about that fact as the movie goes along. In fact he only fights 5&6 as part of his band duties, and 7 out of personal disrespect.
And the one biggest thing I think the movie did right is showing how much of an insecure baby Scott was and that he needed to respect himself to actually win. The "power of love" fails him (literally, the sword breaks), but the literal "self respect" sword wins him the fight.
The movie is filled with stupid garbage, and is ruined heavily by how boring, generic and unattractive the main girl is (to the point you wonder why anyone would care about her this much, especially to fight for her like this), but it has some moments of clarity as well.
The comic is a bit better at emphasizing the fact that Scott and Ramona are pretty terrible people. The redemption at the end is that they realize that they both need to improve themselves, and that they can so so together. Gideon's issue is that he refuses to do so.
The message is still there in the movie, but it gets a little muddled, because the movie was made before the comic series was finished.
Not sure Ubi was woke in 2010. Maybe, but it didn't really show in the game. Was mostly just a fun beat'em up with a lot of vidya references throughout.
The girl is also how you imagine any self-important, danger hair bitch, albeit in the movie the actress is pretty, but all the other things, the clothes, the styling, the hair just scream SJW type.
I legit know a girl who even admits she used to have the same hair because of the character. She is also conveniently a borderline personality disorder gigabitch. She was part of my old friendship group when I lived in Sweden. She pretended I was a home wrecking cunt when I stopped being dragged around by her and then all the others followed.
I could write a book on why she is a bad person that makes the world a worse place.
Lots of people saw Canadian guy & girl, and instead of saying "Wow, these are awful people trying to be less awful" they instead said "Wow, these people are so inspirational and rebellious, I should be just like them!"
It didn't help that the book & movie never really gave them lasting consequences for their horrible behavior (Canadian guy gets a deus ex machina in the movie).
personally, I feel like any who takes inspiration on fictional character should be locked into insane asylum...wonder why ppl cant take entertainment as entertainment without seeing some hidden messages and rolemodels in em:D (terrible writing is terrible though, judge entertainment as entertainment)
I hate nearly all Hollywood crap, so that's not really a high bar.
Can someone just explain?

At least the Beat ‘em Up was pretty good.
Yep, too bad the people who made it are wokies, so I can't buy it. :(

That sounds like a typical romantic cringefest.
Not sure why anyone would think it had an impact on society.
